Gone To Texas

Some personal notes from the old blogger.

I’m off to San Antonio next week to sell some books, do a little research, and celebrate Thanksgiving with old friends.

With Mary Freeman, I’ll visit the old haunts and look for sources about events during the period 1836-1846. Life in San Antonio was uneasy in the years following the Texas revolution in 1836. Mexican armies threatened to invade the country (and some did). Tejanos wondered about their future in the new country. Loyalties were divided between Mexico and the new Republic of Texas. What would happen when Anglo citizens began to dominate San Antonio?

And I’ll sell Guns Across the Rio in a mystery bookstore, “Remember The Alibi,” on Monday, November 24^th, 7:00 p.m. If you’re in the area, check it out. My cell phone is 706-202-1997. 

I’ll drive down to Ben Bolt for a South Texas Thanksgiving. 

The good news – The Return of the Texas Ranger is in the hands of BookSurge publishers. This book describes the further adventures of Red, Whitey, and Nacho, the Rangers from Guns Across the Rio. I’m waiting for BookSurge to send page proofs, the next step in the publication process.

We're off to Tennessee for a "Writer Retreat" have to name it that as we actually live in a resort, which presents a problem when you need to get away. Will get to spend Thanksgiving day with Ford's 7th grade English teacher and her husband.
Good luck with the proofs, Haints went back six times before both sides got it right.
Have a safe trip. Irene & Ford

We'll say a prayer for you at our Thanksgiving table. Have a great time with Mary, and let us know all the neat new facts you discover.

Gramps,
Happy Thanksgiving. We will miss you (and The Menger buffet) this year. Small chance Eric and I will head to San Antone this June for a wedding. Will keep you posted on details in case you want to make a trip out again. You could sell Return of the Texas Ranger!!

Happy Thanksgiving, Dac. Have a pleasant, safe trip to Texas. Looking forward to 'Return of the Texas Ranger'. What do they prefer in South Texas, red chilis or green? See you soon.
